A dc, separately excited motor drives a constant-torque load.

a. If a resistance is added in series with the armature circuit, does the armature
current change? Explain why?
b. How does the speed changes in case (a)?


a. Separately excited motor means that flux ( k? ) remains constant. Now, since

the load is constant-torque, the armature current remains constant.

b. From the equation below, adding an Ra will reduce the speed.
